<p>Pondok Modern Gontor, as a modern type of pesantren, grows very fast in<br />the term of quality and quantity, the amount of applicants is growing every<br />year, and its graduates spread through Indonesian provincies. They take various<br />kinds of role e.g politicians, traders, civil-servants, rectors, deans, teachers,<br />lecturers, doctors, muballighs, religious leadders, head of pesantrens etc.<br />Due to the variety of occupation they take, and status they gain, it raised<br />some questions related to the notion as well as the phylosophy of Pondok<br />Modern, the curriculum they provide and the process they carried out. One of<br />the answers is probably because the Pondok run boarding school system which<br />makes Pondok Modern different from other educational institutions in general.<br />By this system many kinds of educational process in the form of pro gramme<br />and activities could be easily undertaken, because the three centres of education<br />(home - school - community ) are mixed in one campus. Students are accustomed<br />to practice “learning by doing” method and are supervised by their elders and<br />teachers.<br />Questions emerge due to the uniqueness of Pondok Modern eg. Why<br />did Gontor adopt boarding school system? How was the curriculum constructed<br />and applied? And there are still a lot more questions related to this matter. This<br />paper tries to offer some answers to these questions.</p>
